To recap, Jamie has already shared the image of himself tying his peen up in a little bag before sex scenes, which sounds more than a tad uncomfortable for everyone involved (mainly his peen).

He then told The Observer Magazine that "anyone who thinks actors get turned on doing sex scenes in films is mistaken," adding: "There are dozens of hairy men standing around, moving cables and lighting equipment. That's not sexy unless you're into being watched, which I'm not."

Jamie has now admitted in an interview with Notebook magazine that he spent half the sex scenes apologising to Dakota and reassuring her that he wasn't going to enjoy it at ALL. Good to know.

"If I was about to be doing something particularly heinous to Dakota, I would apologise in advance and say, 'I'm probably not going to derive a huge amount of pleasure out of this. I want you to know that.'"

He added: "I got through with a lot of apologies, you have to keep the intensity there, but maintain professionalism. At the end of the day, we're all human beings and it can be uncomfortable to film things like that, so I just tried to make light of it."

This comes after Dakota told The Sunday Telegraph that she did have doubts over the role: "Absolutely. The whole time. Even now there are moments when I think, 'What the f*ck have I done?"

Now, it's not that we're wishing that Jamie and Dakota were having some kind of full-blown passionate Christian/Ana affair off camera, Jamie has a wife and child, after all and it is nice that they were both polite to each other.

But it'd just be nice to know the two leads had some fun filming together, some stories about that awkward moment where they slipped and bashed heads and everyone was all 'LOL!'. It's certainly a nicer image than them awkwardly repositioning themselves between takes and apologising profusely.
